Surveying with the Jeep
Quote from not-my-real-name on October 23, 2024, 6:35 amThe hill is steeper than it looks in the photograph. There's a special button in the Jeep that allows crawling down the hill without using the brakes. I had to use it here.

Quote from Tom Bushelman on October 23, 2024, 7:46 amIt does look pretty steep. It is very handy to be able to get close without just the use of your own two legs. I am working on big survey in the Appalachian Mountains and am considering taking a horse next time. I wonder if that makes all of my horse expenses tax deductible.

Heck yeah it does.
I've heard of a dude in my area that tried using llamas in rugged areas. He didn't know anything about llamas, but as it is with the blossoming of most disasters it seemed like a good idea at the time. Not sure if the tax breaks ever paid off on that.

Quote from OleManRiver on October 24, 2024, 5:58 pmGet a mule for those steep rugged terrain. I love a horse but a mule is more sure footed and can conquer just about any terrain. They are stubborn though.

A friend had the 4L engine in his stock Jeep and he could engage 4WD, put it in gear, and it would just slowly idle up some really steep hills.
Awesome.
